Lei et al. (39,40) and Thomesen and Kilen (41,42) are the two main groups who have
studied the application of the wet oxidation process to textile wastewater and quinoline,
respectively. The first group reported on a series of wet oxidation experiments using two
new oxidation methods that were used for treatment of dying wastewater concentrates
from the membrane-separation processes. The first method partially or totally replaced
oxygen with a strong oxidant, while the second introduced a catalyst. Both methods were
found to achieve higher initial reaction temperatures and pressures when compared with
conventional wet oxidation techniques. In 2000, an extensive series of experiments were
performed to identify suitable catalysis to increase the reaction rate of wet-air oxidation
of textile wastewater at relatively mild temperatures and pressures. The wastewater types
that were treated included natural-fiber desizing wastewater, synthetic-fiber desizing
wastewater, and printing and dying wastewater. Experimental results indicated that all
catalysts tested in this investigation significantly increased the chemical oxygen demand
(COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) removal rates as well as total COD and TOC
removals. Of all catalysts tested, copper salts were the most effective. Anions in the salt
solutions played a role in the catalytic process. Nitrate ions were more effective than sulfate
ions. Similarly, copper nitrates were more effective than copper sulfates. A mixture
of salts containing different metals performed better than any single salt.
